A bug, and a question

[nondescript]

Hey, how's everyone doin?
I recently became a web programmer, more or less out of no where. In the few months I've been doing it, bratta.com and this site have been enormous resources for me.

I wanted to post a bug I found in ns6 -
For Flash content, when the visibility attribute is set to hidden, and then set back to visible, it remains hidden. Easy to work around by using display instead.

My question is:
I'm trying to figure out if I can make a background image resize with the browser. It seems like it would be a fairly common functionality, but I haven't found anything on the subject. Microsoft's CSS reference says that background-position can specify a percentage, but, while I've gotten the background to stay centered and not repeat, any attempts to resize it or make it 100% of the window size have failed. Any tips? I definitely don't want to do something like resizing the user's broswer constantly.

Is it perhaps because it's a gif, as opposed to a jpeg? Just a guess but I do know that each image format has it's own pro's and cons.

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
